Did Puff Get Obama Tix? Oh Yes He Diddy

You may have heard Diddy is groveling for four measly tickets to the Inauguration of the century. You heard wrong.

Not only does Puffy have tickets to Obamapalooza, we're told he got 'em straight from the top.

His peeps tell TMZ, "The story is ridiculous and untrue. Diddy was offered tickets by the Obama inaugural committee because of his work on the campaign trail with Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Kevin Liles. He never asked for tickets and he was never asked to pay for them."

Says P.D. himself, "I am very grateful to be a part of this moment in history. I'll see ya'll at the inauguration."

16. Obamination! Obamination! Obamination!

Gee's look at the sleezy following this guy is getting. Can't wait till he blows his job in the white house.

17. I also agree with Sandy. And seriously, this truly is the type of following Obamination wants. The fame celebrity kind. So he can push his socialist, communist views while everyone is turning a blinds eye and trying to pose good and evil and evil as good.

18. I could give a crap less who gets tickets to see Obama ruin the white house, Go to the site of the National Black Republican Association, people, The site is www.nationalblackrepublicans.com. This group says Obama is NOT whom they wanted to represent their race in history. (He is half white, has that fact escaped many blacks) They say the church he belonged to promotes racism, and has tried to make blacks think they have to depend on the government. I give the mornons who voted for this man one year, and they will see what a stupid mistake they made. This racist socialist will ruin this country. Let the Black Republicans tell you. wake up, people.

22. Hmmm makes sense, a thug from Chicago getting tickets for a thug rapper. Just the kind of president we need--one that wants thugs at his inauguration. What a disgrace.

23. " Obamapalooza. That is so typical."

Well that's what the media hype has it out to being. People wonder why there is such a divide in race still today. It's because the media KEEP making a big deal of people's skin color. This presidency is no different than any other. In more ways than one.

Remember, Obama is still a politician just looking for what is best for Obama.

24. "This country needs a real president, not a person answering to Hollywood. That inauguration will be a shameful joke for America."

Amen. People need to stop voting for who they think will be most popular worldwide.

They are attempting to call him the next Reagan. Why not Carter? Clinton? Where they not good enough?

I find it funny as all get out that the extreme left is all up in arms because Obama is running a cabinet that pretty much matches Bubba's and pretty much following down the middle of the road. (Just like I said he would)

People like Obama are career politicians. He went extreme left to get the nom from the libbies, and now is going to the middle to get the second election. Just like Bill did.

Obama cares about Obama. A whole lot of people were suckered into thinking he was going to be some savior Obamessiah.

25. It's "y'all", not "ya'll": southern contraction for "you all". Between TMZ's reporting & whatever-the-hell-his-name-is-today's command of the English language, I suppose we should be grateful we could interpret any of it.

29. It's going to be a Red Carpet Extravaganza! Too bad the rest of us "Regular" Folk can't partake in the festivities...no money, no connections. Change? Yeah, not really, huh?

30. Anyone else ever notice how convenient Mr. Oblahmas colors are? He's black when he wants to appeal to African-Americans (I'm offended by that terminology by the way -- why is Africa more important than American, in that it should come first?) Anyway,.. he can call anyone whom speaks out against him racist from his "black side".. and can claim all those "white" excuses from his mother and grandmother... " I knew what it was like, I had white grandparents"... Come to think about it,.. there's nothing negative that can be said about this man without offending him in some fashion!!

Come the 20th, let the "pre-approved questions" begin,.. let the media put on their continued "kid gloves".. let his multi-million dollars continue to cover his questionable tracks, and may he continue to lie to the American people! This isn't the NEXT four years,.. it's the LAST four years.
